2 storms will bring snow to Boise — and dump up to a foot in mountains

Boise, if you were hoping for a white Christmas, you just might get it after all.

The combination of a front from the north and moisture from the west will bring snow to Boise on Friday afternoon and evening, according to the National Weather Service. Holiday travelers should be prepared for winter weather.

Forecasters are projecting 1 to 2 inches will fall in the Treasure Valley, while McCall and Idaho City will see 2 to 4 inches. The Boise mountains, West-Central Mountains and Owyhees will get 3 to 6 inches of snow.

Will it snow during the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, which kicks off at 2 p.m.?
